2. Processing of personal data and purposes of processing

a) When visiting the website

You can access the website pesm.memsfab.de/2025/ without disclosing your identity. The browser used on your device only automatically sends information to the server of our website (e.g. type and version of browser, date and time of access) to enable a connection to the website. This also includes the IP address of your requesting device. This is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The processing of the IP address is carried out for technical and administrative purposes of the connection establishment and stability, to ensure the security and functionality of our website and, if necessary, to be able to track down any unlawful attacks on it.

The legal basis for the processing of the IP address is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned security interest and the necessity of providing our website without interruption.

From the processing of the IP address and other information in the log file, we cannot draw any direct conclusions about your identity.

In addition, we use tracking pixels and analysis services when you visit our website. Further explanations can be found under section 4 of this privacy policy.

b) When registering for the workshop

You can register for the workshop using the online form. As part of the registration, some mandatory information must be provided. These include:

  • First and last name
  • Email address

Any other mandatory information is marked as such (e.g. by means of *). In addition, voluntary additional information can often be provided.

The processing of the mandatory information is carried out in order to identify the interested parties as participants in the workshop, to process the contract for participation, and to provide participants with information about the workshop before, during, and after the workshop. The provision of voluntary data enables us to plan and carry out the workshop in a way that is appropriate to the interests of the participants.

The data processing takes place at the request of the interested participants and is necessary for the fulfillment of the participant contract and pre-contractual measures according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the purposes mentioned.

The personal data collected by us for the workshop will be stored by us for up to 6 months, unless you have consented to storage beyond this period in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

In addition, it may be necessary in the context of the contract performance to transmit your personal data to an external organizer. In connection with the workshop registration, you will be informed in such a case about who the organizer is and whether it is an external organizer. This organizer will process personal data in the context of the workshop and in particular for participant management.

To visually document the workshop, photos and videos will be taken. It cannot be ruled out that you may be directly or indirectly identified in the recordings, so that this constitutes personal data.

The recordings are created for Memsfab and used for news directly related to the workshop and for internal and external reporting by and through Memsfab.

In addition, the recordings will be published for post-workshop reporting on our social media platforms or our website. This processing is particularly necessary to document our workshop and promote future workshops.

The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The mentioned purposes are legitimate interests within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

3. Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Except in the cases mentioned above (registration for the workshop), we only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • You have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
  • this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR,
  • there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

If personal data is transmitted to a third country (outside the EU) or an international organization, this will be indicated separately.

In addition, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
